Wave has established a couple of different ways of providing a stipend for teachers. We run our program through the Recreational Department but in Oshkosh it is controlled by the school district.
We have two positions through the Recreational Department:

Through the school district we have five FLL coach positions, one for each middle school. The funds from these positions came from the Destination Imagination positions that were vacant and had little to no chance of being filled. Each coach receives $784.30

Our elementary schools are not funded by the school district for FLL. However we have two elementary schools that have created stipends for the $784.30 amount through their own personal school accounts. Also one of our middle schools have provided an extra stipend for a second coach out of their own funding.
All positions require the applicant to have a Wisconsin certified teachers license.
